"SAMUEL B. BEHLER is farming in East Brunswick township, following the occupation in which his immediate ancestors have been engaged for over a century in that part of Schuylkill county. The Behler family has been in America from Colonial days, and Samuel B. Behler belongs to the fourth generation of the branch which has contributed so much to the improvement of West Penn and East Brunswick townships. Its members have done their share in clearing the land and developing the agricultural possibilities of the region in the pursuit of a living and the acquisition of property; and they have been equally useful in the introduction and maintenance of desirable social conditions, themselves leading exemplary lives and assisting in the establishment of church and schools, with their accompanying benefits."
"Samuel B. Behler was born Oct. 17, 1856, in East Brunswick township, where he obtained his education. He worked with his father until twenty-one years old, when he went to learn the carpenter's trade. He also continued to work among farmers for about four years. Then he went into the lumber woods at Slate Run, in Brown township, Lycoming Co., Pa., as driver and manager, shipped timber, etc., being so engaged for four years. Going to Packer township. Carbon Co., Pa., he managed the Harry Mellington farm for three years, and then returning to his trade worked for J. C. Hayden & Co., at their mines in Mahanoy City, for one year. He married while in that employ. Entering the employ of the Reading Coal & Iron Company, as carpenter with the chain gang, building breakers, etc., he remained for eleven years, at the end of which time he went into North Union township, Schuylkill county, and bought a farm of forty-two acres from Wesley Pettit. He cultivated thirty acres of this place, on which he lived for eleven years, and on selling it came to East Brunswick township and bought his present place, from Benjamin F. Sassaman. It contains about eighty acres, seventy of which he cultivates, carrying on general farming. He markets to New Philadelphia, St. Clair and Port Carbon, making two trips a week in the summer time, mostly to New Philadelphia. Mr. Behler gives practically all his time to his farm, taking little active part in public affairs, though he does a good citizen's part in furthering movements intended to stimulate improvements in the community. He is a faithful member of the Lutheran congregation of Frieden's Church at New Ringgold, and serving at present as deacon. In politics he is a Republican."
"Mr. Behler is married to Ida Amelia Bittner, who was born July 15, 1870, in Packer township, Carbon Co., Pa., received her education there and lived at home until her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Behler have two children: Joseph Walter, born Dec. 10, 1893, who married Mamie Eliza Baer, born Aug. 3, 1898; and Samuel Edgar, born Feb. 28, 1899. Mrs. Behler is a member of the Frieden's Lutheran Church at New Ringgold. Before her marriage she was a Sunday school teacher at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, in Packer township. Carbon county."
